GreatSchools and the Texas Education Agency measure different things, which is worth knowing before comparing schools. GreatSchools weighs test performance against schools serving similar student populations. The Texas Education Agency’s rating, below, is the state’s own official measurement and the one used for school accountability purposes.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
Spicewood Elementary earned an overall A (score of 95) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026. That is up from an A (94) in 2025 and 2024, and Spicewood has earned an A in every rating year since 2022, making it one of the most consistently top-rated elementary schools in Round Rock ISD.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (95)
- Student Achievement: A (95), based on STAAR performance. 84% of students met grade level or above across all tested subjects, including 87% in reading and 86% in math.
- School Progress: A (94), with Academic Growth at A (94) and Relative Performance at B (84)
- Closing the Gaps: A (95)
- 2025 Rating, for comparison: A (94), with Student Achievement A (94), Academic Growth A (92), and Closing the Gaps A (93)
For context, under TEA’s scale, an A rating reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized performance, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Round Rock ISD as a whole earned a B (89) in 2026. Only about 5% of Spicewood’s students are economically disadvantaged, and TEA’s Relative Performance measure compares the campus against schools with a similar share, which is why that one sub-score sits at a B while every other domain is an A.

The median sale price in the Spicewood Elementary zone is $984,500 over the trailing twelve months, about 4.5% above the $941,950 median of 2022-23 and nearly 8% above 2024-25’s $915,000. The median price per square foot has held essentially flat (up less than 1%), so much of that gain reflects larger homes selling rather than rising values per foot.
